About Tess

Liverpool lass Tess is now settled in the far north of England where she roams the fells with a brolly, dreaming up new stories and startling the occasional sheep. You can follow her ramblings at her website, www.tessmakovesky.com.

Dull but necessary

Dark Minds release

Fancy a shiver at Christmas that, for once, has nothing to do with the weather? Then why not treat yourself to a copy of Dark Minds, the charity anthology that’s already making waves?

The book features a plethora of stories by some very dark minds indeed – authors who specialise in crime, dark fiction and even, dare I say it, horror! All the stories have been specially selected by Betsy Reavley, of Bloodhound Books reknown, for their shiver-inducing qualities.

My offering, ‘My Own Eggsecutioner’, features a man losing control when he tracks down a missing family heirloom. Who’d have thought one small egg could cause so much mayhem? Then again, it is a Faberge…

The book is available from Amazon in Kindle, paperback and audio versions. It’s proving so popular that the paperback has already sold out! But I’m reliably informed that more are being hurried from the printers to fill the gap, so please keep on checking back.

And if you’re on Facebook, then feel free to head over to the FB launch event page this evening, where we’ll be hosting a mad party involving most of the authors, a lot of virtual bubbly, chat, and a chance to win books from some of your favourite authors. Including, I should warn you, me. I’ll be popping up around 8.00 pm UK time with a contest involving ‘Raise the Blade’. Do come along and join in the fun!
